Active Loop Folder

Hello people

I cannot access the Active Loop Folder on Garage Band.

Now I DO have access to many different Loops folders (different series) in

Lib / Audio / Apple Loops / Apple / different loop folders (13 altogether).

I downloaded all these folders on to the GB loop library.

I can access them through Garagband and in doing so I noticed duplicates and triplicates. So I attempted to access the Active Folder containing all the loops, to no avail.

Any suggestions as to where I may find it?

Regards

What is your GarageBand version?

Any loops you dragged to the loop browser, will probably be installed in either the folder

/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops

From the HelpText above:

GarageBand, Logic: Where loops get installed

Note: The tilde (~) represents your home folder. To get to this location, in the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folderfrom the menu. Type ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops in the "Go to the folder" field and press the Go button.

Whether they go into the home folder path or the system path depends on the "My Apple Loops" preference you have set in the Loops pane of GarageBand preferences.
